Acetic Acid → Ethyl 3-(7-ethyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-1-yl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-(7-acetyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-a]-quinoxalin-1-yl)propanoate as synthesized in above Example 183, 131 mg, Pearlman's catalyst 100 mg and acetic acid 5 mL was stirred in hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 43 hours. Then 75 mg of Pearlman's catalyst was added and the reaction liquid was mildly heated. Twenty-two hours later, the reaction liquid was filtered through Celite, and 30 mL of water was added to the filtrate. The precipitate was recovered by filtration, washed with water and dried in flowing air under heating to provide 65 mg of the title compound.
